2.Movie script from Portugal

Three bullies were causing the usual disorder in the classroom (their feet were up on the table, throwing paper airplanes, etc.) Alex, Derek and Jennifer.

Alex throws a paper airplane, at the teacher, and when e turns to the class, outraged, says:

Teacher: "If this happens again..."

Without leaving the professor finishing his sentence, Derek hits the teacher with another paper airplane, right in the face.

(this generates a great racket, a mixture of laughter and the teacher's words of indignation)

The school's headmaster was passing by the corridor (outside the classroom) and when he hears the noise, comes into the classroom. He identifies the guilty (which are always the same) and sends them to detention.

They complain because they thought it was torture, and they would hear a sermon all afternoon.

In the orchestra’s room:

They entered the room followed by the Headmaster. When he turned on the light they could see the chairs arranged to receive the school orchestra.

Jennifer: are you kidding me?

Headmaster: As you know, the sermons didn't result, neither your parents appear when they are called..."

(Members of the orchestra entered, and none of the three bullies hadn´t even realized what they were doing there.)

Headmaster- "My friends, as I was saying, as none of the reprimands resulted with you, the pedagogical council concludes that the best for you, would be to include you in a group of the school ... and why not the orchestra?

They could not believe that they would join the group of nerds which they never stopped joking with.

(Followed by the choice of the role that each of them would play in the orchestra. The bullies were invited to choose an instrument, which would be their afternoon company during the three following months)

(…)

Initially they took time to get used to the idea, they were very reluctant to play their role in the group, but over time they get conformed, and they even start to like it...

(…)

The Orchestra participates in Inter-schools orchestras contest, but they end up losing. However, they managed to show his change, effort and great willpower that they had to change their lives, and give a new direction to their future.

In the end they comforted their mates, showing group spirit. They were congratulated by the headmaster, proud of what he did for these young people's future.

(Their photo appeared in the newspaper, where they were recognized by their talent and their promising future instead of negative reasons).

3. Movie script from Romania :

We hold others in respect, we have respect for us

Stoicescu Teodora, 7th grade

I would say that it is not advisable to treat others in a way that they do not appreciate it or in a way that you wouldn’t appreciate it either. People are so different, they are so beautiful and interesting in their diversity thus it is very difficult and incorrect to assume that something that you do not like might suit others’ taste. I think respect is something that resides from our love of the human kind. I believe that respect can be gained with a lot of effort, but nonetheless it can be lost easily.

I believe that the respect we have for others is most visible when we argue for something: we can dispute ideas but not offend our partners.

Characters:

1. Claudiu – the ‘wise guy’ type of person, fan of “Satana’s Cartoons”, sheer proof of illiteracy, he thinks that he is much better/ smarter than his colleagues or teachers

2. Adina, the “gentle/ docile” type of character, loving and respectful, Claudiu’s “victim”

3. Andreea, domineering type of person, teacher’s pet, who has the upper hand of people around her, Claudiu’s girlfriend

4. Maria – Adina’s best friend, rock fan, a wild temper, strong willed

5. A character who sits on the fence – Adina’s mother (Diana), single mum, grieved by her husband’s abandonment, who can only help Adina whenever she’s not thinking about the devastating breakup. An even-tempered type of person, forgiving and loving type of person

SCENE 1:

A typical day of school. Adina goes to the schoolyard accompanied by her friend, Maria, in order to relax, talk about clothes, celebrities and the latest gossip in the music industry. Claudiu enters the scene, surrounded by his buddies, sees Adina and starts swearing like a trooper, saying nasty things about her family and making fun of her clothing style. Maria cannot sit tight and interrupts “the wise guy” by telling him to back off and mind his own business. But, Claudiu does not back off easily and starts cursing Maria, but the girl does not get intimidated by his behavior, grabs Adina by her hand and they leave.

SCENE 2:

Break time again. Adina gets out of the classroom, holding her books, on her way to a new course. Andreea sees her and heads to that direction, pushing her intentionally in order to make her drop her books. Maria witnessed the entire scene and heads for Adina in a hurry. Meanwhile, Andreea leaves.

SCENE 3:

Adina gets home tired and absent-minded. She says hello to her mum as she takes off her shoes. Her mum asks about her school day and Adina, sighing, tells her everything she went through. Hearing the horrible things that her daughter has to go through on daily basis, Diana promises her daughter to go and talk to the principal of the school.

SCENE 4:

Seeing that her mum does nothing to help her, Adina approaches the French teacher and tells the teacher her grief/ distress. As the teacher had her own share of problems to think about, refuses to help Adina and tells her: “Get the hell away from here, I don’t give a damn about you!”

Adina, disappointed and outraged, cuts school and goes to a nearby park to plot on her revenge.

As she sat on a bench, she saw a group of boxers from a nearby club, doing their usual training. Suddenly, the idea of asking her Friend Paul to knock Claudiu senseless crossed her mind. As for Andreea, her enemy, she thought of making her trip and fall over on the school’s stairs in front of the entire student body and break her arms. She would watch all of this in a vindictive and enraged look.

Still, admiring the splendor of the park, of the flowers, of the pigeons, her soul fought against these evil thoughts, but her thirst for revenge was not quenched. Then, she postponed her plans of revenge and told herself that she would make up her mind that night.

At night, as she went to bed, she decided not to follow through with those horrendous ideas, as she knew that violence would only lead to violence and that she has more respect for people than for their actions in the spur of a moment.

SCENE 5:

The teacher realizes that she had misjudged the entire situation and calls Claudiu and Andreea to work out on the conflict they have with Adina. The two children understand that they have acted in a wrong way and that they might, in turn, be victims of such violence themselves. They then bury the hatchet and invite Adina to the rock concert that evening.

The three children learnt that violence is a monster that casts a shadow on their souls and minds and that can destroy their lives.
